I had my ego boosted a bit last Friday. The owner of a company that installs pavers and is working on my neighbors backyard, offered me a job. He had seen me working on my front yard, shoveling yards of fill dirt and rocks, and thought I would be a great addition to his team. He wanted me to start today! He was going to teach me the trade of setting pavers, and start me on the path to a very good career. I was tempted for sure. Until I remembered I am no spring chicken. Also, while I can shovel dirt and haul pavers around until the cows come home, my real love is plants. I do all the heavy work so that I can get to the fun planting. I was certainly flattered, but not new careers in pavers for me.

SAVAGE
by Duane Hewitt
Genre: Action & Adventure | Literature & Fiction | Crime Fiction
FREE for a limited time
Savage is a passionate tale chronicling the life and experiences of Darcy Farrow, an enforcer and Sergeant-at-Arms for Hells Hand – a fierce and aggressive outlaw motorcycle club operating in southern Ontario during the nineties. The story follows Farrow’s upbringing through various pinnacle turning points and events in his early childhood into a period of delinquency in his teens. A brawler and street tough, he becomes a bouncer for a local bar and is ultimately discovered by the head of a smaller, local motorcycle club when he defeats that club’s enforcer in a series of unrelated fights. He is “made” in 1982 at the age of 22 when he is probationed by the club, thus setting him on a destiny within the criminal biker culture, leading to that club’s takeover by a larger, notorious U.S. club – Hells Hand. Farrow survives the violent takeover and rises in status with the older, larger club, only to be confronted by new challenges surviving in the big leagues, and an ensuing war with a violent Quebec gang known as Satan’s Salvation. Paralleling this brutal existence, Darcy meets and falls in love with a beautiful North American native woman, Andrea George, who he shields from the violent life she knows he leads. Years into their relationship, Andrea is unexpectedly diagnosed with a brain tumor and is told she will die. This heart breaking news comes at a time when an old adversary of Darcy’s appears, promising vengeance for an old, unpaid vendetta. Between the exploding biker wars and Andrea’s looming death, Darcy Farrow must overcome his enemies in order to be with Andrea in her final days. With Andrea’s ultimate loss and the approach of the new millennium at the age of 40, Farrow is left questioning the profound love he experienced but lost, and a violent life that, in the end, left him nothing in return. Savage is a tale of lust and power, hate and survival, fear and greed, and the underlying theme of benediction that offers absolution and redemption through its strongest and most endearing component – love.

The Way We Live Now
by Anthony Trollope
Genre:
FREE for a limited time
The Way We Live Now is a satirical novel by Anthony Trollope. It was inspired by the financial scandals of the early 1870s; Trollope had just returned to England from abroad, and was appalled by the greed and dishonesty those scandals exposed. This novel was his rebuke. It dramatises how that greed and dishonesty pervaded the commercial, political, moral, and intellectual life of that era. It tells the story of Augustus Melmotte, a financier with a mysterious past (he is rumoured to have Jewish origins, and it is later revealed that he owned a failed bank in Munich). When he moves his business and his family to London, the city’s upper crust begins buzzing with rumours about him — and a host of characters ultimately find their lives changed because of him.
